*Young Pakistanis Take One Problem Into Their Own Hands, New York

LAHORE, Pakistan — … A group of young Pakistani friends, sick of
hearing their families complain about the government, decided to spite
them by taking matters into their own hands: every Sunday they would
grab shovels, go out into their city, and pick up garbage. It was a
strange thing to do, particularly for such students from elite private
schools, who would normally spend Sunday afternoons relaxing in air-
conditioned homes. But the students were inspired by the recent
success of the lawyers' movement, which used a national protest to
press the government to reinstate the country's chief justice, and
their rush of public consciousness was irrepressible…

VARANASI, India, May 13 -- As one of the most popular political
figures in this impoverished northeastern Indian city, Tazim Ali
fields round-the-clock cellphone calls about such everyday problems as
child hunger, domestic violence and caste discrimination. The only
thing that's unusual is that Tazim is 9….Last year, Tazim, who is from
a Muslim family of sari weavers, was elected along with an 8-year-old
Hindu girl who worked as a ragpicker. The members meet every Sunday
and hold monthly meetings at which thousands of children often show
up. They hope to replicate their effort across India in coming
months.

NWFP, were trying to carry out their subversive activities in the garb
